Why High-Elo Players Smurf with Sivir
Low elo players cannot handle 'perma-shove' strategies. When Sivir clears a wave in 3 seconds, the enemy ADC is forced to last-hit under tower, missing CS and taking plate damage. This opens up the map for you to ward, take Scuttle, or roam mid. Additionally, enemies will uselessly throw their key CC spells (like Blitzcrank hook or Lux binding) at you, which you block with E for free mana. A smurf Sivir reaches 10 CS/min effortlessly and hits her 3-item power spike while the enemy is still struggling to complete their second item.
The Level 1 Cheese
First Blood Strategy
Start Q (Boomerang Blade) for the best Level 1 trade potential. Wait for the enemy to walk up for a minion, then throw Q so it hits them on the way out AND the way back. The double-hit damage is massive, especially if it doesn't pass through minions first (damage falloff). If you deal a chunk of damage, you gain lane priority immediately. Alternatively, against heavy poke lanes (Caitlyn/karma), start E to block their first spell and gain mana, asserting dominance by nullifying their Level 1 pressure.
The 'Pay-to-Win' Skin Advantage
'Pizza Delivery Sivir' is iconic (throwing pizzas). 'Solar Eclipse' has great animations. 'Pax Sivir' is the rarest flex. 'Mythmaker' is visually loud/good.
When They Ban Sivir
Backup Pick: If Sivir is banned,
Ashe for utility.
Xayah for waveclear/safety.
Zeri for kiting/speed.
Rune Setup
Best Runes: Lethal Tempo (DPS) or Fleet Footwork (Sustain). Presence of Mind is MANDATORY (mana hungry). Secondary Sorcery (Manaflow/Gathering Storm) or Inspiration (Biscuits).
Skill Priority
Order:
Q → W → EMax Q first for the poke/waveclear. Max W second for the bounces. E last.
Mastering Sivir's Kit
Boomerang Blade. Throws crossblade. Returns to Sivir. Deals damage (less per target hit). Avoiding minions increases damage.
Ricochet. Next 3 attacks bounce to nearby enemies. Crits bounce critically. Reset auto-timer.
Spell Shield. Blocks next enemy ability. Restores Mana/HP (depending on rework/patch - usually Mana + temp HP heal in recent iterartions or just Mana).
On The Hunt. Massive move speed aura for team. Reduces abilities cooldowns on auto attack (Passive on R). Press to go fast.
Matchup Tips
Vs Caitlyn
Hard. Outranges you. Pokes you down. Farm safe with Q.
Skill. She outscales 1v1, you outscale 5v5 via AOE. Push her in.
Vs Blitzcrank
Easy. Spellshield his hook. Free mana. He cries.
The Ego Check
WARNING: Stop pressing E randomly! Spell Shield has a long cooldown early game. If you waste it to block a random auto-attack or a low-damage support ability, you are vulnerable to the real kill threat (Hook, Stun, Ult) for the next 20 seconds. Save it for the ability that kills you. Also, respect your range. Sivir has 500 attack range, which is very short. If you walk too far forward to throw a Q, you will get punished. Use your W bounces to poke safely from the minion wave.
When to Queue Dodge
Dodge Draven or Kalista. They bully you extremely hard early. You can't farm against them if they are good.
Teamfight Role
In teamfights, press R. It helps your team position. Then activate W and hit the closest target. Your richochets will shred the backline automatically. Use Q for burst. Save E for the assassin or mage trying to kill you. Kiting back with 500 movespeed is easy.
The 'Disrespect' Build
Lethality Sivir (Dark Harvest). Duskblade/Youmuu's -> Collector -> axiom Arc. One Q takes 60% of their HP. W bounces execute low HP targets. Toxic playstyle.
Power Windows
Level 9 (Q/W maxed). 3 Items (Shiv/Kraken + Navori + LDR). Once you have Navori, your W is permanent.
Tilt Factor
Type 'Pizza time' when using the skin. Shoving endlessly and ignoring them while they try to trade tilts them. Just PvE and win.
